Are the OS Giken tranny kits available for the SR20 trannys?

And wuts best for quick accelleration AND top speed??? Also, would I have to change the gears in my rear differential?

Im looking for quick accel, and a slightly higher top speed...

i think you are pushing too hard.
you bump your HP you WILL have quick acceleration.
you alter your gear ratios you will have higher top speed.

it's a give take situation with acceleration and top speed, man

you get one you lose the other.

there are solutions

i cant awnser the question about the tranny because it's out of my pricerange and i've never considered it. i, personally, would use HP to accel me quicker and take my top speed up by altering the ring and pinion gear....

think about what i'm tryin to type and it will cost way less and be just as effective.
the money you save on a $10,000 tranny you can use for the whole car...but that's just me..what do i know?

okok...

so HP to accel, and Ring and Pinion gears to increase top speed...

Now wut do u recommend I do in this situation? Wut parts should I use to increase HP (already have T3/T4 hybrid turbine w/ 15 PSI, and Blitz front intercooler, HKS Dragger 3" exhaust system)... do I need anything else for HP?

Then on the ring and pinion gears, where would I be able to find those that are safe to use inside an SR? And how would I be able to determine my new top speed and new redline limits?

you make pleanty HP now...i didnt even realize you were boostin...the ring and pinion got in the diffrential. the big gear that goes around the LSD it'sself is the ring gear. and the pinion is what the driveshaft turns...to spin the ring gear ...to turn...you get the idea.

you'll still have the same rev limit but you will be going faster due to the fact that your ring/pinion is larger. so it will turn slower


to be continued...time to hit the flea market.

the first part.... I dun really get the idea much.... got lost half way thru...

and on the second part... I thought the smaller the gear the faster it goes? or am I not picturing it correctly in mah head???
